In this exercise, part A focuses on completing words with either the suffix 'er' or 'or'. These are common suffixes in English often used to indicate someone who performs an action (e.g., 'worker') or an object/device (e.g., 'razor'). Understanding when to use each suffix can depend on spelling conventions and word origins.
Part B involves adding the prefix 'un-' to create negatives of the original words. This is straightforward, as 'un-' is commonly used to indicate the opposite meaning in English.
Lastly, the task of creating new words from given words is a fun word puzzle exercise that helps enhance vocabulary and spelling skills by identifying smaller words within a larger word.
